Reproduction extracts a cost in resources that organisms are then unable to utilize
to deal with a multitude of environmental stressors. In the nematode C. elegans, development
of the germline shortens the lifespan of the ...

We present a novel strategy that uses high-throughput methods of isolating and mapping
C. elegans mutants susceptible to pathogen infection. We show that C. elegans mutants
that exhibit an enhanced pathogen accumulation ...

The mechanisms involved in the recognition of microbial pathogens and activation of
the immune system have been extensively studied. However, the mechanisms involved
in the recovery phase of an infection are incompletely ...
